Singer-songwriter Bingham is the proudest Texan this side of Hank Hill: He writes lyrics overflowing with border-town imagery that dances just to the edge of cowboy cliché; earns his sepia-toned album cover with a dusty wood-and-steel sound; and despite being twenty-five, sings like Steve Earle's dad. All the mood-setting can get tiresome, but his best songs rock the hardest: the hand-clappy rave-up "Bread and Water" and the anti-war, pro-pot-growing cow-punk "Dollar a Day."
